ETH Zurich advocates a proactive approach to the use of generative AI in educational contexts, emphasising responsible use among students and lecturers.
Students are responsible for the content of work they submit. Performance assessments must be conducted independently and personally; GenAI may serve a supplementary role but not replace student efforts.
Lecturers determine whether and how GenAI may be used in their courses and for respective assessments. Teaching materials created with GenAI must be subjected to quality control by the lecturer.
Violations of GenAI guidelines such as use of unauthorised aids or non-disclosure of their use are subject to disciplinary action under existing performance assessment rules and the declaration of originality.
ETH Zurich recommends Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and NotebookLM for teaching purposes, as they offer data-protected access via ETH accounts where personal data is not used for training models.
Students must refrain from disclosing copyrighted, private, or confidential information to commercial GenAI clients unless expressly permitted, and must respect privacy and copyright of content they work with.
ETH Zurich requires transparency about GenAI use: students must declare which tools they used and for which parts of their work; lecturers must communicate when GenAI use is permitted and make their own GenAI use visible.
ETH Zurich states that technical recognition of AI-generated output is currently unreliable and will probably remain so; trust in such methods is not appropriate.
